How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Ethiopia: 539 of 857 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Butterworth & Son describe this coffee as caramel and sweet, citrus, nutty, floral, tea-like. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

nutty and tea-like are unusual here — 15% of coffee from Ethiopia are described that way, and 16% of coffee from Ethiopia are described that way.

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Altitude, lowest

“Altitude: 2200 MASL Washing Station: Aricha Wubanchi Cultivars: Heirloom Process: Fully Washed The combination of high altitude (up to 2,200m in some areas), fertile soil, consistent plentiful rains and an abundance of local knowledge are all contributing factors to the high status of Yirgacheffe coffees.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
